Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 130

Chapter 130: MY BABIES!
“I thought we are here to ask for help. No?” Pyro looked hesitated when he entered this tiny house.

“With Zenith, it will be a different story.” Darius couldn’t help, but shook his head.

However, there was something wrong when they stepped into the house, because it was very quiet. With the commotion that they created, there was no way the owner wouldn’t realize there was a bunch of people here, unless this house was empty.

This house was not so big. It had a second floor, but it was a narrow place, where the four of them cramped in the first floor.

But, suddenly they heard this swished in the air and the alpha was the first one, who reacted. He caught something in the air and it was a needle.

“Poison needle,” Dawn recognized it right away. She stretched out her hand to take it, but Zenith threw it away.

“Don’t touch anything poisonous recklessly,” the alpha growled at his mate, disliking her carelessness.

Dawn was speechless. Poison was her strong element, if there was someone here, who knew whether something was poisonous or not, it must be her.

Yet, she didn’t want to argue with him about it, knowing it wouldn’t have any good end, thus she focused on the matter at hand.

“Hecate! Come out now!” Dawn raised her voice and someone appeared from the second floor. He was standing at the stairs, pointing a crossbow at them. Dawn recognized the crossbow. He used to use it to shoot his poison needles.

With this threat, Zenith pushed Dawn behind her. His blue eyes turned slightly darker, killing intent emanated from his body. He didn’t appreciate it at all when someone threatened his mate.

“Who are you!? What are you doing here?!” the man named Hecate was a young man with red hair, he had a messed up haircut, as if he did it himself. He was very skinny and more importantly, he was not a shifter. “Go out before I called an authority!”

“So, they have an authority here now.” Pyro took a note.

“They are really going to create a new kingdom.” Darius was not happy with this progress.

“Get out!”

“Hecate! Put down the crossbow! We need to talk!”

“How do you know my name?” Hecate looked confused, but right at that time, Zenith shifted into his beast.

[Protect Dawn!]

At the same time Zenith shifted into his beast and charged toward Hecate, Pyro and Darius pulled Dawn behind them, protecting her, just in case there was a needle that was shot toward her. Pyro created a wall of protection around them.

The black beast moved very fast, despite its huge size. Its knocked Hecate to the side in a single movement and pinned him to the ground before he shifted back into his human form. He took the crossbow and pointed it at him.

“Wh- who are you? Who are you?!” Hecate was scared, as he stared at the poisonous needless right on his face. “I didn’t do anything. I didn’t do anything!”

“Calm down, calm down,” Dawn said, she immediately pushed Pyro and Darius aside and climbed the stairs to approach the two of them.

“Okay, I will calm. I will calm.” Hecate raised both of his hands beside his ears.

“Put it aside,” Dawn said to Zenith. “You scared him.”

Zenith gave her a look, but Dawn didn’t notice that.

“We need two items. Frozen Bark and Krussech. Can you give us those?” Dawn was being very patient with him.

“I don’t understand what are those…” Hecate eased up a little bit when Zenith put down the crossbow, but he still pinned him to the ground.

“Let me see your safe, the weird items that you found in the wild, the one that you didn’t know the name yet.”

At first Hecate didn’t want to. “Those are my babies, what are you going to do with my babies?”

“I will make a good use to your baby, okay?” Dawn crouched down and talked to him calmly. “I will tell you the name of your babies, so could you show me all of them?”

“I don’t think that’s going to work,” Darius talked to Pyro.

However, it actually worked. Hecate asked the alpha to get away from him, so he could show her his babies.

He went to his small bedroom that smelled very unpleasant with Darius and returned with a small box in his arms, he cradled it as if this was his treasure.

“Here are my babies.” He opened the box excitedly and then showed it to Dawn. He told her the story of how he found them. In total there were seven items inside.

“Is what we are looking for there?” Darius poked his head to see the small things inside the shabby box.

“Yes.” Dawn beamed. She took two items and was glad that she could find them quite easily. They still had a lot of time to save Zander now.

“Are you going to tell me what are those?”

“Of course,” Dawn said happily and then recalled all the items inside the box and told him about how to use them. “I will take these two with me, okay?”

“No!” Hecate howled. “How dare you take my baby?”

“How much is it?” Zenith asked.

“I don’t sell my babies!”

“A thousand gold?”

“I am not going to sell them.”

“Ten thousand gold?”

“I- I am not going to sell them…”

“A hundred thousand gold?”

Hecate gasped. He looked hesitated.

“Put them down,” Zenith said, he pulled Dawn by her elbows and told them to leave, but Hecate immediately stopped them.

“A hundred thousand gold! A hundred thousand gold! Deal!” Hecate shot to his feet. “Where is the money?”

Of course, Zenith didn’t bring that much money with him. He asked Pyro to return to the palace and bring half of it. Hecate’s jaw dropped when he saw the gold.

“You can collect the remaining half when you come to the palace.”

“Come to the palace?”
